OK I have split the topic ~ happy now? I don't think it belongs in the Computer room which is more for Geekiness than this subject

I had a subscription with Freeserve. I'm sure I had a freephone number for the dial-up.

For those confused, as I am, TG has requested the topics he started in two different places be merged.

Carry on.

Mine did ~ but you could elect to either pay a fixed monthly charge or pay per minute via your phone bill. If my memory is not as shot as I think it is.

Freeserve? That was Dixons wannit?

All free. But back then you had to remind users that you still had to pay the phone bill.

The first email address I ever used was with Compuserve. They got devoured by somebody or other.

AOL got them it seems.

Well don't bother to say thank you or anything.

I work my paws to the bone just to give you everything you asked for demanded and what thanks do I get?
Sweet FA that's what. sad24:

Eh? I didn't start the 'online nookie thread' where this subject was first broached. That would have been you I think.  confused:
